The Hidden Value of Analytics in Banking

Boston, MA – June 26, 2013 In this research report, The Hidden Value of Analytics in Banking, Mercator Advisory Group explores the important role analytics play in helping banks and other financial institutions better understand, serve, and engage with their customers in today’s hypercompetitive retail banking market.

“Institutions are increasingly recognizing the importance of understanding their customers – not only their stated needs, but also the unspoken – which are sometimes unknown even to these customers. Analytics systems can help identify those customers who would be best-served by richer conversations with branch personnel, as well as identifying those customers who might be better-served by fewer branch visits but increased use of self-service and/or assisted self-service channels,” comments Ed O’Brien, director of Mercator Advisory Group’s Banking Channels Advisory Service and author of the report.
